- The gold and silver jewelry industry in Meilong Town began in the 1980s, initially consisting of small family workshops that inherited craftsmanship techniques from Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, producing simple gold, silver, and copper ornaments. The accumulation of manual skills during this period laid a solid foundation for subsequent industrial development.
- The spring breeze of reform and opening injected strong vitality into Meilong's jewelry industry. In terms of technological upgrades, through master-apprentice inheritance and process improvement, the industry gradually shifted from manual forging to mechanized production, introducing new materials such as rose gold and K-gold, greatly enhancing product quality and variety.
- After 2000, the number of enterprises surged to over 2,000, forming a complete industrial chain covering R&D, design, processing, and sales, directly creating employment for more than 80,000 people and becoming an economic pillar of Hai Feng.
- In 2006, the Dongyi Jewelry Trading Plaza was completed, promoting product transformation from single styles to diversified designs (such as ornaments, rose gold jewelry, etc.).
- In 2009, the Shanwei Gold, Silver and Jewelry Association was established to guide standardized industry development and assist in building the "China Jewelry and Jade Special Industry Base" brand.
- In May 2017, the Hai Feng Enviro Jewel Hub was officially established, marking the transition of Meilong's jewelry industry from scattered workshops to green intensive production.
- In October 2017, the environmental impact assessment was approved by the Guangdong Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, establishing the core concept of "environmental protection first".
- In October 2018, it was approved as a provincial-level industrial cluster, enjoying policy benefits and opening a new chapter in industrial upgrading.
- In March 2019, it was listed as a key construction project in Guangdong Province, accelerating the construction of environmental protection infrastructure.
- In August 2021, the first batch of electroplating enterprises went into production, and the supporting wastewater treatment plant began construction, achieving "production-environmental protection" integration.
- In January 2023, the largest and most technologically advanced wastewater treatment plant in Shanwei was completed, treating 5,600 tons of wastewater daily using international-level processes such as ultrafiltration devices, activated carbon filtration, and constructed wetlands to ensure zero pollution discharge.
- In April 2024, the wastewater treatment plant was fully operational, and all six functional areas of the cluster (processing plant area, electroplating production area, wastewater treatment area, etc.) were fully activated, forming a closed-loop "R&D-design-production-environmental protection-logistics" industrial chain.
- 40 years of industrial accumulation: From family workshops to a national industry benchmark, Meilong's jewelry industry, with its dual genes of "traditional craftsmanship + modern innovation", has become a model for the transformation and upgrading of the jewelry industry in Guangdong and even nationwide.
- Green intelligent manufacturing benchmark: With the support of national-level environmental protection technology and policies, the cluster has achieved zero pollution emissions and efficient resource utilization, becoming the largest provincial-level jewelry electroplating industrial park with complete building facilities in China.
- Economic engine: With a cumulative investment of over 720 million yuan, it is expected to attract 200 enterprises by 2024, creating an output value of over 10 billion yuan and providing 15,000 jobs, helping Shanwei deeply integrate into the industrial layout of the Greater Bay Area.
